October Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop

Welcome to another amazing Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop! If you got here by chance, please head back to the Pumpkin Spice Blog and start from the beginning.

This month's hop is all about two things: 1) the amazing papers of Echo Park and 2) the October Feature Designer Kit brought to you by Lenae. Her kit is showcased at the next stop in the hop, so get excited!! Here is a sneak peek pic of her kit "Put a Spell on Me". What an amazing kit!!


Lenae used Echo Park paper:
Apothecary Emporium
Mischievous

Echo Park \"APOTHECARY EMPORIUM\" Complete Set - Pumpkin Spice Pac
For this month's hop I used the Echo Park Apothecary Emporium paper kit. This kit is just spooktacular!!
 
I started with a plain box and wrapped it in different patterned cardstock from the kit. Using my Cricut I cut out the same frame in two different patterned cardstock and adhered them to the front and back of my box. I didn't glue the top of the frame so I can slip a picture inside!
 
 
 Front of the box. Decorated with adhesive embellishments.

Back of the box. Spooky!


Top of the box. I love the big vintage labels in this collection.

A pic of my son carving a pumpkin two years ago.
